Afternoon Tea

A couple of weeks ago I visited Hebden Bridge (a quirky little town in West Yorkshire.) There are lots of independent shops, one of which is a shop that sells traditional toys, sweets and old fashioned cosmetics and kitchen wear- a nice shop for unusual gifts. I went upstairs and got a great surprise....a 40s style tea room had appeared!

Unfortunately it was closed. I took the opportunity to take some photos to share with you. I think they have styled it simply and beautifully- I've always dreamed of having my own tearoom one day and this is how I imagine it!

The pretty china, rustic flowers and 'Ration Book Menus' all add to the style.

I'm sure you will agree this looks a lovely place to step back in time and enjoy afternoon tea!
